Robots

A robot is a machine that is capable of autonomously completing tasks. Depending upon the robot, these tasks may be simple or complex and may require little human intervention or complete oversight. The area of robotics deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots.   Robots are constructed for many purposes, able to fill almost all niches and occupations, or become modified for new ones. From general-purpose utility droids to full-fledged military battle machines, robots could be found in almost any environment and function.   On Earth, society has become highly dependent on drones and robotics — from live-feed camera drones, to sparring bots and massive warehouse machinery. Huge, automated trash collectors and robotic street sweepers can be seen any day through your window (if you're lucky enough to have one).   Whether top-of-the-line or pieced together from scrap, robotics serve a huge role in both the economic sector and everyday life. In fact, most public transportation services are handled by automated vehicles. These trains and buses are practically entities in their own right — able to communicate with each other and learn in order to improve efficiency.  

Arasaka

 

Minotaurs

The Arasaka Corporation Minotaur is a two-legged, remote controlled robot that can be equipped with a variation of weapons, including but not limited to, a Smart variant of the Mk. 31 HMG.  

R MK.2

Arasaka Robot R MK.2 are defense robots used for protection. The robots are contracted or bought by other corporations, politicians, or celebrities from all over. These robots are meant for those who do not want to use live assets.  

Cyberdyne Systems

  A Terminator, or T-Unit, is a type of Hunter-Killer designed to terminate other life forms. Various Terminators are built by an artificially intelligent computer called Skynet.   A Terminator with a female outer sheath is referred to as a Terminatrix.   Most Terminators were made of dense alloy with an armor coating, making them more durable even than most HKs. Most bullets could do little damage to their chassis. However, Terminators' densities deny them the ability to swim. However they can survive submerged and walk along the bed to the shore  

T-1 Battlefield Robot

  The T-1 Battlefield Robot, also known as T-1 Ground Assault Vehicle or simply T1, is a fully autonomous Ground Offensive System and the first Terminator class robot and a Hunter-Killer Tank prototype developed and produced by Cyber Research Systems, possibly based on patents obtained from Cyberdyne Systems. Designed for extreme combat, the Series 1 was built to clear battlefields of enemy troops with its powerful weaponry. The T-1 is also the first generation of Skynet armored battle tank.  

T-800 Terminator

The Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 Terminator, also known as T-800 Terminator, Model T-800, or simply T-800, is a type of Terminator mass-produced by Skynet. The T-800 Terminator was Skynet's first cybernetic organism, with living tissue over a hyperalloy endoskeleton. This made it Skynet's first successful Infiltrator unit.   The 800 Series Terminator contains a Neural Net Processor CPU, or "learning computer", contained within the endoskull and protected by inertial shock dampers. The CPU, developed by Cyberdyne Systems, is one of the most powerful microprocessors ever built.  

Militech

 

MT0D12 "Flathead"

The Flathead is an experimental military grade unit for surveillance and reconnaissance missions, manufactured by Militech International Armaments. It is state-of-the-art, coming without a standard port and with titanium-fiber actuators. It has dynamic camouflage armor and motor impulses rivaling that of the human nervous system.  

Seegson

 

Working Joes

  Working Joes, also referred to as Maintenance Synths, were a line of rudimentary androids manufactured and sold by the Seegson Corporation.   Unlike the human-resembling synthetics of Weyland-Yutani or Hyperdyne Systems, the Working Joes feature hairless rubber skin, LED eyes, a robotic voice and lack facial movement. While this is a result of inferior technology and manufacturing by Seegson, the models are marketed as being purposely designed this way to make it obvious at a glance that they are synthetics, as opposed to the Weyland-Yutani models that can be easily mistaken for a human being. As such, Seegson heavily markets their product line towards humans who fear the ability of Synthetic to pass themselves off as "real people".   Joes were also rumoured to have been commissioned for use as combat synthetics, though the validity of this is unknown.
